Public Health Week ..

ATTENTION STUDENTS, SCHOOLS AND FAMILIES!

The Ocean County Health Department is calling for submissions for our Public Health is Where You Are student challenge. Help us recognize how far we have come as a community during the pandemic and celebrate Public Health Appreciation Week from April 4-10, 2022.

Submit your creative, original content focusing on one of three themes.

• Public Health Heroes – How were you a hero during the pandemic?

• Sending Thanks – How would you like to thank our public health heroes?

• Positive Coping Skills – How did you cope during the pandemic?

All elementary, middle and high school students are eligible. A winner, first runner up, and second runner up will be chosen from each grade level. Submissions will be judged by Ocean County Health Department staff, Board of Health members and Ocean County Commissioners.

Submissions are due by March 24, 2022. Call 732-341-9700 x7536 or email healthed@ochd.org for more information.
